-In today's lesson we are going to learn how to play chord shapes on a bass guitar! It's not very common to play chords on bass but it can be a very good tool in your bass playing arsenal. You are going to learn three note chords (triad) shapes for major, minor and diminished chords.

-In this lesson you will play a little rock n roll tune on bass holding chords exclusively. To make it more interesting I played this lesson in a slap style, leaving notes to ring out to big chord sound. So if you are into slapping this is a fun addition.

-This lesson will show you how to play major, minor and diminished chords shapes on bass, practice slap bass technique, develop left hand strength and dexterity.

-This lesson is in the key of C. Check out my "Harmonizing Major Scale" series to learn how to build chords in one key.

Equipment I've used for getting this sound was: Peavey Cirrus bass with active soapbar pickups, equal mix of both of them with added bass and treble on onboard eq - then going to the nemesis (eden) amp with a 1x15" and slightly added bass and treble there (at 1 o'clock position).

Feel free to ask me any questions in the lesson feedback and in my instructor board at forum.
